Olivia!

Good news: My eye is on the mend. Bad news: I had a really rotten Wednesday because of it - hardly slept, could barely see to drive Ellie to school, and then had to get mom come get me and drive me to my first eye doctor appointment, which resulted in a referral to a corneal specialist. So dad had to take me to that and mom ended up taking care of the kids for the afternoon. They are so nice to me.

BUT! My eye is better, and Olivia Jane, her mom and Gigi are in town!

And ready to swim!

It was pretty cute - Olivia was fairly cold to me and Grizz upon first meeting, but within seconds of Ellie arriving, she was willing to give Ellie a hug and a kiss. She has since warmed up to me, probably because I give the best kiss attacks around. When we left tonight, she gave me an unsolicited kiss goodbye and I melted into a puddle of goo. I think mostly she enjoys me because I'm Ellie's mom. Adam is not as interested - he is sort of annoyed that someone else is touching his stuff, but he did give her a hug when I asked.

About Me

Tim and Meg met in 2003 at UCLA, only three weeks before Meg graduated, and only three months before she moved to Canada for graduate school. They dated long distance for a year, got engaged in 2004 and married in 2005. Tim makes video games as an actual job. After five years in LA, in a 500 square foot apartment, we moved back behind the Orange Curtain and bought our first house in October 2009. We followed up that fun by having our first daughter, Elizabeth Rosemarie in October 2010.
Tim is 6'6" and Meg is 5'3". Yes, we know we look mismatched in pictures. Yes, Meg tries to stand on things to be taller whenever she can.
